Iranian Society
elects officers
Officers of the Society of
Iranian Students were elected
Friday.
Elected were: president, Frooz
Ghaffari; vice president, Homa-
youn Malek; secretary, Khosrow
M. Hadipour; treasurer, Hassan
Salimi and social chairman, Ler-
mond Hairapetian.
Dr. A. Edwin Ullrich, assist
ant professor in Sociology is the
new advisor.
A new laboratory facility for
research in basic learning is be
ing established in the College of
Education.
The Human Learning Research
Laboratory, headed by Dr. Gies
sen J. Martin, will be operated
through the Educational Psychol
ogy Department of the college,
Dean Frank Hubert announced.
Designed along the lines of a
classroom, the lab will be located
in Hart Hall. Renovation work
for the facility has begun.
Among its appointments will be
two testing cubicles for observ
ing individuals under highly con
trolled situations.
Martin, professor in the Edu
cational Psychology and Psy
chology Departments, said the
purpose of the lab is to conduct
basic research into the ways peo
ple learn and how the learning
modes can be enhanced.
He was associated with a simi
lar facility at Michigan State at
which he conducted research on
cognition and learning through
the U. S. Office of Education
funding.
The experimental psychologist
who joined the faculty as full
professor last summer has sev
eral projects outlined for investi
gation in the lab. Graduate as
sistants will be employed, enabl
ing the training of graduate stu
dents interested in the psychol
ogy of learning. He stressed that
students from other departments
will hopefully be involved in the
lab’s work.
An immediate project deals
with basic studies in the “tele
graphic concept” of reading, a
process of condensing written
material up to 80 per cent with
out loss of input or information.
“The idea,” explained the cum
laude graduate, “is, through re
search, developing some tech
nique based on rewrite or reduc
tion rules for elimination of ex
cess verbiage.”
Martin said many w<yds and
phrases recur in predictable se
quences. Removal or condensing
of such elements and deletion of
some unnecessary prepositions,
conjunctions and articles will not,
he believes, affect comprehen
sion.

Dr. Lee J. Martin, A&M Eng
lish faculty member for 24 years
and departmental head since
1966, died Sunday in a Houston
hospital after an extended illness.
The English professor had
been hospitalized several months.
Memorial evening prayer serv
ices will be read at 7:30 p.m. to

burial will be in the College Sta

Dr. Martin, who was 54, is sur
vived by his wife, Harriet, Col
lege Station; one son, Lee Mar
tin of Colorado Springs, Colo.;
two daughters, Miss Frances
Martin and Mrs. Jane Goehring,
both of College Station; two
grandchildren, and one sister,
Mrs. Henry Samson of Laguna
Hills, Calif.
The family requests remem-
berances be made to the A&M
English Department Library
Fund.
Dr. Martin was born July 15,
1916, at Pilot Point, Texas.
He joined the faculty as an in
structor in 1946. Dr. Martin
served as associate dean of the
College of Liberal Arts and was
Educational Television Center di
rector, in addition to heading the
English Department four years.
He earned bachelor and mas
ter’s degrees at the University of
Texas in 1941 and 1948, acquir
ing the doctorate in 1956 after
studying dramatic literature and
English at Stanford University.
He was member of numerous
professional and scholarly socie
ties, including the National Con
ference of Teachers of English,
Texas Joint English Committee
of Schools and Colleges, the
American Society for Theatre
Research, American Educational
Theatre Association and Ameri
can Association of University
Professors.
Martin wrote numerous articles
in theatrical language and educa
tional publications and the Fresh
man English Bulletin used in
A&M courses. A freshman Eng
lish text, “The 500-Word Theme,”
was also written by Martin.
material in this age of informa
tion explosion, the teleghraphic
concept could have tremendous
implications for education, both
in informal and formal settings.
In two-year USOE investiga
tion, Martin found through ap
plication of the telegraphic con
cept with blind children who use
Braille that there was no reduc
tion in reading comprehension.
Development of a program ap
plying mathematical models for
the computer reduction of ma
terials will receive priority treat
ment in the Human Learning Re
search Lab. An A&M computer
science doctoral student, Mrs.
Mary Ann Herndon of San Diego,
will work with Martin on the
computer program.
The former Apollo Support
Program consultant also plans
work in the development of
teaching strategies among intel
lectually disadvantaged children.
He says research shows that
when learning strategies em
ployed by the gifted were taught
to the culturally disadvantaged,
greater learning efficiency re
sulted.
Martin also wonders how the
deaf get more information from
visual material and the blind ob
tain data with their fingers not
normally acquired through the
sense of touch.
“If we can discover the answer
to such questions,” Martin said,
“then maybe persons who have
all their senses can make better
use of them.”
